34 11 667 Precision-turning both front brake discs on both sides: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 21 other vehicles, including the 2017 BMW 550i GT xDrive, 2017 BMW 535i GT xDrive, 2017 BMW 535i GT, 2016 BMW 550i GT xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i GT xDrive. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
Always precision-turn both sides of both brake discs on one axle.
Maximum machining dimension per friction ring side is 0.8 mm!
Observe minimum brake disc thickness (MIN TH). See FRONT BRAKE or REAR BRAKE .
Brake discs of M models (Compound brake discs) must not be machined!
Only one brake pad set may be used up on brake discs which have been lathe-turned to minimum thickness (MIN TH).

Stationary brake disc lathe
IMPORTANT:
Only BMW-approved brake disc lathes may be used!
In the case of stationary brake disc lathes, the BRAKE DISC must be removed.
Please refer to the equipment manufacturer's operating instructions for the exact procedure.
Mobile brake disc lathe
IMPORTANT:
Only BMW-approved BRAKE DISC LATHES may be used!
In the case of mobile brake disc lathes, the brake calipers and brake anchor plates must be removed.
The brake discs remain on the vehicle.
Please refer to the equipment manufacturer's operating instructions for the exact procedure.
After fine-grinding the brake discs, measure the THICKNESS DIFFERENCE inside the braking surfaces at 8 points with an caliper gauge.
